    This is extremely weird as you are dead on!
    I swear when I was in an NCAA league my wife was no where to be found UNTIL a crucial down or drive and voila!!! wife enters and starts asking me questions or whatever... This happened almost like clockwork!!!

    Then she'd get mad when I give her a short answer or say "Not right now!"

        I can't lay down and play a game, I always try to get comfortable but win in let's say 2 plays for a NCAA/Madden game I found myself sitting up and almost standing on occasion.

        I hate pausing or taking a break when i'm on a roll in any game.

          I don't play sports games online. Ever.

          When I play shooters online I don't use a mic unless I know the people I am playing with. Even then it takes me a while to warm up to talking to everyone.

          I have to sit on the floor between the couch and coffee table when I game. Can't sit on the couch, ever.

          Like the op said, I can't play an RPG unless I have some serious time to devote.

          Games must be in their cases. Thats one of my biggest pet peeves.

              My wife does this too. It annoys the crap out of me because she won't say anything to me for hours but then I'll throw a game on and she suddenly wants to ramble on and on about how her day went. That and she always wants me to give her a synopsis on the game I'm playing. /rant

                  This is the pet peeves/rules thread, not the "game hatin'" thread lol


                  I have a rule that I do not play games in the AM after waking up in the morning... I think this stemmed from the first time I played an SNES game in the morning before going to elementary school...I got in major trouble at school and was sent to the principals office (I was a good kid, so this was very embarrassing at the time). Haven't played before morning school/work hours ever since! haha

                    Never leave a game dics in the console before shutting it off.

                    Make sure hands are clean before touching my controllers.

                    Try to play only one story driven game at a time.

                      Why's that?

                      Here are a couple of mine:
                      • Keep game discs in a CD Binder, not the original plastic cases. My NCAA 08 disk ended up cracking because the center "teeth" part of the game case was messed up and put too much stress on the inner part of the disc.
                      • No switching on defense in football & basketball games. I like playing help defense in basketball and like staying with a play and chasing guys down the field as a d-lineman to make a tackle in football
                      • Don't take advantage of CPU trading AI. I know what is realistic and what isn't.
                      • In online franchises, I can't stand the guys that make 27 trades before Week 8 in the first season. Just roll with the team you have, maybe make a move or two in Season 1, then get more active in the first offseason.

                        I hate when people brag about beating a game in an unrelated thread and spoil the ending. I am currently pretty deep into a game and I almost saw the ending in an unrelated thread, but I could tell where it was heading thank goodness and pulled out in time.

                        That's a pretty cool dubbing.

                          Playing with someone that sounds like they break my controller..broseph, mashing the hell out of the stick isnt going to make him jump higher....prolly even more annoying because their clicking is their inability to stop hacking for steals 50x per possession...lol...CPU only plz

                          Try not to play one sports game too much; keeps the experience fresh over time and you don't develop poor habits and reliance on certain things subconsciously. Even in shooters, i get bad habits or frustrated that just leads to poor play. Now, I try to enjoy each game...instead of getting bogged down thinking about finishing a season or minor annoyances getting too annoying.

                          "Medic....I need a Medic....Over here..."....lol.

                            Some curious one: I always place the case (upright, cover in my direction) of the game I'm currently playing next to the tv.

                              I pretty much always leave disk in tray IF I know that's the next game I'll be playing.

                                when you playing online and some one else on the mic has a bunch of things going on in the background. You can hear babies crying in the background or Gf's/Wives bithing about something.
